The mag has no self adjustment like you're describing. Ie it doesn't change maps on its own. That said it's not out of the question that each map has logic built into it to respond to outside stimuli that isn't solely wheel motion

Anything from 88 would be incredibly crude and far superceded by modern chassis dynamics software

I have a general magna ride question. I selected it as an option on the car i ordered. The closest i have ever had to something like magna ride was an 88TC. That car you could set the suspension to auto or on a firm mode. When you had it in auto and went WOT it would automatically firm the car up. Does the magna ride change its profile under WOT in normal mode or is each mode just kinda what it is in that mode. For what its worth, while fun, i found the TC a little unpredictable in auto mode and preferred leaving it in the firm mode all the time…. So i hope magna ride is predictable for what ever mode its in at the time. If that makes since?
Magneride has different settings. Sort of base maps.

But it has yaw sensors and such and will also sense when you do something outrageous and adjust itself automatically.

There's been a time or two while cruising in normal mode, the car saved my ass when I had to do some emergency avoidance stuff. T Magneride stiffened up and kept things stable and level.
